What is the formula you are using & what is the definition of he variables used?

If it is a custom code you can change the output variable to

TYPE p DECIMALS 3

Hello Eric,

Are you doing the calculation in some custom report or in some enhancement ?

Please note that Std SAP accepts only 2 decimals. In case you are calculating values in a routine or user exit, the total calues mught not match.

Hi,

For that it's better to use any z data element. You can use your own with 3 decimals.

Thanks

Hello,

Can you be more specific in explaining your requirement ?

Anyways if you can change the export param( TYPE xkomv-kbetr), i don't think you have much option here.

Your target field should have 3 decimals to get the accurate value.

From your post, I'm assuming that you don't need the result as 3 decimal places but just the intermediate calculations.

For example, when creating a percentage, you can use either of the following formulas:

a = ( b / c ) * 100.

a = ( b * 100 ) / c.

Assuming a, b and c are all two decimal place variables.

The first example will have rounding issues.

The second example will give the desired results.

So in your results, you can either use local variables to do calculations or perhaps arrange the formula (as shown in the example) so significant digits aren't truncated.
